SUCH INTERESTING PEOPLE by Robert J. Casey Armed Services Edition M-18

Description: YES, when you're a reporter you meet such interesting people—and they're all in the newspaper business! In hilarious prose Bob Casey demonstrates the truth of this familiar bon mot with yarns about the colleagues of his long journalistic career. If, he says, these oddments of history seem to support a theory that the newspaper business and pandemonium are the same thing, one must remember that the resemblance is purely accidental! Bob Casey's friends will testify that no one's conversation is so amusing as his when he gets going in shop talk. It is a riot. And this book has all the highly individual virtue of his flavorful utterance. It is about some people you know, some people of whom you have heard, but many, many more of 'whom you have never heard. For the most part it isn't a book about big names — "the majority of newspapermen meet more policemen than grand dukes" — but about lesser-known names with big personalities. All the wacky varieties of the genus Screwball in the catch-as-can world of newspaperdom are represented. They are all uproariously interesting. This special edition of SUCH INTERESTING PEOPLE by Robert J. Casey has been made available to the Armed Forces of the United States through an arrangement with the original publisher, The Bobbs-Merrill Company, New York.
